    Chapter 787 | Did Not Lie To You


    Este faked a nod, turning to the boys and shing them a grin.


    Thanks to Lucian’s sudden appearance, Roxanne felt less guilty toward the children. However, she felt stressed all the same.


    Finally, lunch was over. Roxanne had thought Lucian would bring Este home after lunch. However, to her surprise, Este was


    reluctant to leave.


    Roxanne had no choice but to let Este stay and y for a while before seeing them off.


    That day, Este was extremely happy. Not only did she get to y at Roxanne’s house, but she also found out that Aubree was


    gone.


    Este was grinning from ear to ear during their journey back to the manor.


    Lucian, on the other hand, felt conflicted when he saw how happy Este looked through the rearview mirror.


    “Daddy, Benny says you and Ms. Jarvis were in the living roomst night. Is that true?” Este finally asked the question that had


    been nagging at her all day.


    Lucian froze at Este’s question.


    Whatever happenedst night was done out of his impulse.


    Now that he thought about it, he reckoned Roxanne must have been taken aback by his actions.


    However, it was already toote to regret it.


    Truth was, Lucian had also pretended to be calm around Roxanne. Now that Este was asking him about it, he felt an


    inexplicable wave of emotions forming in his heart.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Without waiting for Lucian’s reply, Este pressed further sweetly, “Daddy, what were you and Ms. Jarvis talking about sote at


    night? Did you make her angry again?”


    Lucian could feel his head aching as he listened to her.


    He could imagine who Este would side with if she found out about her rtionship with Roxanne.


    “Ms. Jarvis came out to have a ss of water, and we talked about your illness,” answered Lucian solemnly.


    As to whether he made Roxanne angry, he did not answer that question.


    From his point of view, he had merely gone a little overboard when he bullied Roxanne.


    Did she get angry? Oh, well. It’s toote to worry about that now.


    Este was relieved to hear Lucian’s reply. However, sheined unhappily after that, “Is that all?”


    Lucian cocked a brow. “What else should we have talked about?”


    Este said matter-of-factly, “You should have also asked her when she would be my mommy!”


    Her reply redefined Lucian’s understanding of her.


    When Este had refused to speak back then, he had feared she would continue to stay quiet in the future even after she had


    learned how to speak.


    However, she had dismissed all of his worries during this period.


    Is it because she likes Roxanne a lot? Essie seems to talk a lot when it’s a topic about Roxanne and me.


    Most of the time, Este’s words were as shocking as what he had heard earlier.


    If he had not heard it with his own ears, he wouldn’t have believed it was his own daughter who had said that.


    Essie nced at Lucian’s back in disdain. “Daddy, do you not know how to pursue Ms. Jarvis, or were you lying to me back


    then?”


    Her questions made Lucian frown. “I didn’t lie to you.”


    “Then when will Ms. Jarvis be my mommy?”


    Lucian’s eyes darkened, and he said, “I can only promise you | won''t let any other woman apart from Ms. Jarvis be your


    mommy.”


    As for when, he did not tell Este. In truth, he had already popped the question, but in a very overwhelming method, which


    caused Roxanne to be extremely aversive toward him.
